Hello keyman staff
At the present, if you can to type a capitalized letter in the keyman on your phone
You should press the shift at first, then press the letter, then press the shift again, then type the lower case parts or the words.

My suggestion is that keyman can include a automatically capitalization features for users to select in the future.

If we can store functions and set logics in the keyman file. Is it possible to let keyman output multiple different outputs with a same input?

Is it possible to store combined words with more than one code in the store funtion?

Is it possible at the moment to set a conbined symbol in the keyman touch layout longpress funtion now?

Best regards,
